Website creates forum for University debate

The Princeton Report on Knowledge (P-ROK), an online platform for intellectual discussion, was launched earlier this year to fill a gap in the public debate of academic work.The site's founders and editors ? anthropology professor John Borneman and history professor Gyan Prakash ? were disconcerted by the absence of a public forum for the discussion of social and natural sciences, humanities and on-campus events and seminars."We thought that the absence of such a forum or platform ghettoized academic work as 'merely academic,' " Prakash said.Borneman and Prakash took it upon themselves to change that, putting a premium on making knowledge and opinions widely accessible."While there is much support at Princeton for research, there is little effort to turn this into accessible knowledge," Borneman said.Since its inception, the site has taken an unorthodox format, featuring interviews, discussion forums and question and answer sections in lieu of scholarly articles.P-ROK's slogan reveals the site's interdisciplinary focus: "To survey the local complexities of a globalizing world.

Study proposes Dinky changes

The Dinky rail service, which runs between the University campus and the Princeton Junction train station, may undergo major renovations as part of a federal planning process.The study looks into ways of integrating the Dinky, which carries up to 1,500 passengers daily, with the proposed Route 1 corridor Bus Rapid Transit System (BRT). The BRT ? an improved bus transportation system that has already been instituted in Pittsburgh, Pa., and Ottawa, Canada ? would make numerous stops between Trenton and central New Jersey.According to the "Alternatives Analysis" study sponsored by Central New Jersey Transit, proposed options include upgrading or removing the Dinky while adding a BRT line, upgrading the service without adding the line, or leaving the Dinky alone.
